Chapter 2 – Mei's POV
I checked myself in the mirror for the hundredth time before going outside.
Same long black hair, same dark almond-shaped eyes, small nose, heart-shaped lips, pale porcelain skin.
Hi. I'm Mei Carter. Half Chinese, half American.
Let's talk about my American side: Dad.
Dad's latest amazing idea?
→ Hire me a bodyguard. Why? Because apparently being the daughter of a billionaire businessman makes me a target, to his enemies and I'm "too reckless and soft to be left alone."
Whatever. I can handle myself.I'm a grown 26 years old woman .
But Dad doesn't listen to reason when he gets something in his head. Of course, he had to make it official.
He even gave it a show name.
→ "The Bodyguard Choice."
I wish I was kidding. but its the truth ...
Honestly, I don't know how this ridiculous man built an empire with that brain. How did a guy who acts like a clown become a billionaire? , cause honnestly he is not that cold serious busnissman no dad is funny and unserious ! , Even I don't know the answer how he is that wealthy today ...
Anyway, I already had a plan.
→ I paid a popular bodyguard to show up today and act super tough, professional, protective, all of that.
Dad's gonna love him, I'm going to approve, everyone's happy. And after that?
→ The guy will only follow me around when Dad's watching. Otherwise, I'm free. Genius, right?
I grabbed my bag, headed outside, and got into the car. My chauffeur started driving toward Dad's and I company: "Crater Society." : cause yes I'm also the CEO of this company ...
Yeah again . Crater. Like what happens when a meteor slams into Earth.
"Why Crater?" you might ask.
Simple: Dad liked it. It's close to our family name—Carter—and he's obsessed with space, stars, planets, the whole cosmic thing.
You'd think Crater Society would be something scientific.
Nope.
It's a yogurt brand. surprise !
Welcome to my life.
